Wineterwatch 1963 - the Big Freeze

The winter of 1962-3 was one of the coldest on record in the UK with
persistent northerly and easterly winds bringing heavy snow as lakes and
rivers froze over.
Chris Packham introduces this archive documentary, originally shown in
February 1963, and asks how wildlife would cope with the same conditions
now.

Surely wildlife would cope in exactly the same manner now as it did then?
Better perhaps as I think there is more awareness about feeding birds in
the winter today than there was back then.

As for the people, well......

Yes I think you are right Col..
This is a repeat of the programme shown earlier this year and is based
largely on the black and white footage taken at the time and the actual
documentary with Cliff Michelmore made halfway through the spell. Most
thought it was very good without the modern day hype - although one or
two didn't seem to like Chris Packham but if you are one of those he is
only summarising briefly.
